Functionality for Linux Host - SMB Shared Folders #11

Closed salderma closed 2 years ago

salderma commented 2 years ago

Hi, I'm curious... the README shows examples of using this project with either virtualbox or libvirt, yet the Vagrant Sync'd Folders are SMB based, which limits host OS's to Windows or Mac OSX. I notice in the Packer projects for building your base boxes, that rsync is installed on the windows boxes. Will rsync not work for this effort?

I run Linux as my host platform and was really looking to build off your work to include adding Windows AD infrastructure into my Vagrant multi-system infrastructure models.

SMB sync folders also work in linux (e.g. ubuntu) after you apply the patch from https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/pull/9948

You can see that patch being applied to vagrant in one of:

  1. https://github.com/rgl/xfce-desktop-vagrant/blob/1a6e14dfd25a955f2474f4b5c1cd2c69e16dbc04/provision-virtualization-tools.sh#L87-L98
  2. https://github.com/rgl/infra-toolbox/blob/a6a9393be6ebbc4b9e5c9169f0a63103b99af513/playbooks/roles/vagrant/tasks/main.yml#L49-L71

Sometime I want to use a real share to share files between the guest and the host (like in this windows-domain-controller-vagrant repository, where the guest copies the ExampleEnterpriseRootCA.der file to the host). For those cases rsync is not appropriate as it normally only copies files from the host to the guest.
